Christian Rowland Reporting live for ODOGWU MEDIA.....Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has described Ojukwu Jr. as ‘a sad irony’ of his father, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
He said this while debunking a claim that he pestered Emeka Ojukwu to return to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

Son of the Biafran warlord had on November 15, dumped APGA, a
political party believed to have been founded by his late father, for
the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a recent interview, Ojukwu Jr. said that Obiano had been lobbying
for him to return to the party, adding that the Anambra governor was
playing “ infantile and local politics.

But responding in a statement by his Media Aide, Olivier Okpala,
Obiano said Ojukwu lied against him, stressing that he had never talked
to the late Igbo leader’s son since he joined the APC.

Obiano said he had nothing to gain if Ojukwu returned to APGA.

The statement partly reads, “It is a matter of pure pathetic fallacy
for the younger Ikemba to say that Governor Obiano is lobbying him to
come back to APGA.

“The governor wondered on what grounds anybody would ever lobby
Ojukwu to return to APGA while he never held any important position to
warrant being described as a stakeholder or a leader of the party when
he was a member of APGA.

“In fact, nobody knew that he was a member of the party.

Obiano described Ojukwu’s son as “a sad irony of his father” who “In
his lifetime, was the champion of the struggle for the rights and
emancipation of his people, standing firm with his Igbo brothers and
sisters and never betraying their cause.

Adding, “I wonder what the Great Ikemba would be thinking when his
son openly denied the only political entity which he left to unite the
Igbo under a political umbrella.

“It is unfortunate that Ojukwu’s son described an elder and the
governor of his state as one playing juvenile and local politics when
the late Ojukwu respected constituted authorities.

“We urge Ojukwu Jnr to show respect to the governor and continue his
sojourn with the APC rather than make untrue remarks about the governor.
